A very clever picture indeed and one that stirs up some enthusiasm. It is not only a good, human comedy, well acted and set; but four of the champion Athletics' brightest stars are pictured as taking part in it. The four, who posed for the Thanhouser camera in this picture, are the pitchers Coombs, Morgan, and Bender, and Oldring, the catcher. They seemed to enjoy the fun in the situation too. The heroine of the comedy is supposed to be Coombs' cousin. Her husband was a good clerk and a good fellow, but he thought he was a wonder on the baseball diamond, and it was making him act "nutty." She got Coombs and three of his friends to cure him. Coombs promised to make him sick of the game. The three pitchers pitched and Oldring caught and the "nutty" man fanned the air. It took the conceit out of him and it cured him. The heroine is very pleasing and the whole cast put the situation over in first class shape. It's a very desirable film. - The Moving Picture World, December 2, 1911
